The best of Maine’s historic shore and woodland cabins! Near Acadia National Park!

The fully maintained and very clean and charming cabin is perched just above the shore line and has extensive beach, sunset, lake, and mountain views from either the large screened in porch or from the many living space and bedroom windows. The cabin is just a few steps from a 250 yard long beach with fresh clear spring fed lake water and gradual sandy bottom swimming.

The cabin can also have an add on nearby one-room cabin made available. This cabin is separate, with private bathroom, outdoor shower, grill, basic cooking, coffee, fridge, deck, and a queen bunkbed. Please inquiry if interested. Owner can add it onto this rental prior to booking via VRBO.

My Maine property is a private 300-acre peninsula with a mile-long private gated driveway through some of Maine's last stand of old growth Hemlocks that then splits off to each of 4 private cabins. I have been renting three of the cabins to vetted families and couples since 1997 through online services such as VRBO. Each rental has privacy, separate parking, natural and unobstructed views of the lake, beach and mountains. Our completely private 250 yard long beach is the center piece. The Boathouse (google “VRBO 4017223ha”) and Three Bears Cottage (google “VRBO 102873ha”) are located on the south end of the beach and are separated by 25 yards. The Shadow Cabin (Google “VRBO 102874ha”) and the other cabin (my private) are located on the north end of the beach and are separated by 50 yards.

The property is large and I limit the number of people on the property at one time so that the general serenity of the property can be fully experienced by all without any worry about noise, beach use, shared amenities, and general privacy. There is a caretaker who will be there on the day of arrival, Wednesday for trash and assistance, and is on call for emergencies and to maintain the safety, sanitation, and operation of the property for you. The lake and surrounding area have abundant loons and their haunting calls can be heard day and night. They are a daily visitor to our private cove along with duck families, turtles, and bald eagles. The lake is superb for swimming and is completely spring fed so the water is crystal clear, fresh, and enjoyable. The water temperatures are very comfortable during the summer months and can be enjoyed for hours. Our large private beach offers a soft, clean (non-muck), sandy, gradual entrance into the water. We have a wooden floating raft that is perfect to fish from, swim or paddle to and from, as well as relax on while watching the schools of fish swim by. Our property is surrounded by a State of Maine land reserve (Donnell Pond Unit) that is an extension of Acadia National Park. There is fantastic hiking and exploring all within just a few minutes’ drive or locally a short walk or paddle, all of which has views over thousands of acres of protected land, Acadia National Park, seacoast, islands, lakes, mountains, and our property. We offer for our guests 5 one-man kayaks, 1 two-man kayak, 3 paddle boards, 5 kid kayaks, and a canoe to explore the lake, its remote beaches, the outlets, beaver dams, eagle nests, and fishing. The lake is 75% undeveloped/State owned so you can enjoy the completely secluded natural beaches and shores without worry. The entire property is in its natural state and could be physically challenging.

We do allow for an authorized dog(s) with the understanding that it is not allowed onto furniture, be destructive to the property, be overly bothersome, or be left unattended without being properly secured or crated. It is, however, a fantastic place for a dog especially for one that loves the water, beach, woods, hiking, and general free play. There is a $100 per dog fee. There will be other dogs on the property. Most return every year and are known and have been respectful. Please understand that dogs are often playing on the beach off-leash.

    Property is nestled deep in the woods but owner directions were spot on! Cabin is roomy with a wonderful screened porch. The beach area is incredible and the on-site water toys are a definite plus!

    If you’re looking for that ideal cabin on a lake in Maine, you have found it! This was one of the most peaceful vacation I’ve ever treated myself to. Andrew is the ideal host. He offered great information and responded quickly. The cabin was so quaint. The amenities were so comfortable. Sitting on the sandy beach, watching the colors of the lake change by the minute it was such a joy. I would highly recommend this listing to anybody wanting that quintessential main experience!

    The cabin is rustic and true to a quiet step back in time. We really enjoyed morning tea in front of the fireplace as it was cool outside. The beach and water are pristine and gorgeous. We were able to relax and enjoy the piece and quiet of the setting in the woods, with long walks on the entry road. Andrew was available and responded to any requests we had. Fresh seafood was a short distance in Milbridge, which was wonderful. We highly recommend this VRBO if you’re looking to get off the beaten track and relax.

    This place was absolutely amazing! It is remote, which is what we wanted. Great place to take your 4 legged “kids.” I would definitely recommend and would definitely go back again.

    We absolutely loved our stay here. Situated well back in the woods, you feel a world away. The lake is pristine and great for swimming, kayaking or just hanging out next to with a good book. There is no shortage of good hiking, sightseeing and activities in the area, but I would say that just relaxing and taking in the beauty of nature here was the highlight of our trip.

    This log cabin was everything we hoped it would be. We loved sitting in front of the beautiful wood-burning fireplace. The cabin is very clean & has plenty of hot water. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking & dining in. You can’t beat the view from the private beach. The lake with the mountains in the background is spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay at this rustic & charming log cabin.

    This cabin was the highlight of our trip to Maine! It was quiet and relaxing with just the sound of the waves and the loons. The accommodations were great, the big stone fireplace kept the place warm, and we spent a lot of time just sitting in the chairs on the beach watching the sunsets. There was plenty to explore with the kayaks and nearby trails and even a winery. We would definitely come back there again.

    The cabin was perfect for our little getaway. Quiet and peaceful. We were able to relax on the little beach, take the canoe out on the lake. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We look forward to booking another stay!

    All the glory of camping in the woods with none of the hassle. A classic log cabin on a gorgeous private cove, great for swimming and boating. The dogs had a fabulous time, and so did we!

    This is a spectacular property - amazing lake, really lovely woods, close to great hikes. The cabin is pretty close to expected - old Maine cabin, well kept. We visited in October, and the owner kept the cabin open later in the season to accommodate us. It's only heated by a wood fireplace, as the current wood stove is too old to burn safely, hence his concern for our comfort. We were fine, however, despite temperatures dipping into the low 40s over night, we just had to wear hats inside. Warmer by far than camping! Lake access is awesome, the boats were great, and we were out on the water a bunch despite the wind (and October chill). One thing that was complicated - the photo of 2 double beds is old, there is a single king bed suitable for 2 adults and a kid snuggling. We had 2 additional kids sleeping by their choice in front of the fire, so it was all fine. The cabin is quite dark inside - cozy at night, but dim in the morning, in part a function of October light. Plenty of hot water in the amazing outdoor shower. Owner's friendly dog visiting us was a definite bonus!
